Absolutely true.
No brand or watch is so much imitated as the rolex subbie.
There are brands that virtually exist around creating rolex homages, and rolex probably also is the most (illegal) copied brand.
They do this because it sells. For every AP royal oak homage or Patek homage you can probably find 100 subbie homages
Maybe TAG comes in second (or omega), but Rolex is on another level imho.

Rolex is also by far the most profitable (and biggest in terms of volume) independent luxury/swiss watch brand.
